Using the Content Management System

Lynchburg College has implemented the use of a Content Management System (CMS) to manage our public Web site.  This enables content owners to manage their Web content directly.  Departmental content editors are assigned by department heads.  If you wish to be involved in editing your department's Web pages, please contact your department head.

The following links are for the reference of Web content editors and approvers, and are available on campus only.  Document links open in a new browser window.
